I can't believe no one has had any thing to say in this thread yet.

Well let me start by saying YEAH!!! My project plants all came today (pics tomorrow).

My Den from Andy's is the cutest thing. It's mounted just like I wanted and looks like a very healthy plant. I can't wait to see it in flower. I hope to see it flower

Well, I have mine, too! I actually got 2 of them. I got the first one last weekend at the Flamingo Gardens Orchid Show. It was a tiny thing, but only $10 from a Venezuelan vendor. It is on a wire and the roots are wrapped in coconut fiber.

Then, yesterday I went down to Homestead for my 'warm' project plant and got another little den at Soroa Orchids. This one was $15. Canes are not as tall, but there are more of them. It is in a clay pot. I also got a free Phal equestris 'seedling' that is huge and actually has 2 plants in the pot. So, I did pretty good there for $15!

So, hopefully I will be able to get at least one to bloom!

You did great! Do they always give free seedlings? You convinced me to go down, rather then order online.

Thanks, Dave! No, I got a "free seedling with purchase" coupon for Soroa when I joined COS (Coalition for Orchid Species). I don't think they are doing the coupons any more.

Picked up a cute little loddigesii today. It came mounted on a chunk of cork. It looks really small to me, but the grower said it is at a size that will bloom. Pics to follow. Is it best to post thumbs in the message??

Finally getting around to posting pics.

I love this plant. Got it from Andy's and it came mounted on a shingle. After much research I found it likes tree fern...so tree fern it is.

What do you think???
